James Franco Isn't All Natural Down There
Author:*Katey Rich
Though he's made a big splash with his hilarious role in the stoner comedy*Pineapple Express, James Franco may get even more attention for his role in this fall's*Milk. Franco will play Scott Smith, the lover of famous San Francisco politician Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) who was assassinated at the height of his political career. And even though it's a movie primarily about gay men's political lives, apparently there's plenty of time for some all-male nudity.
Flawed Hollywood*reports that James Franco is telling the story of a long day shooting a nude pool scene, when apparently his god-given assets weren't quite enough.*"I go over to Sean and I guess he didn’t know that I was wearing a prosthetic,"*Franco said about approaching his co-star during filming.*"I go, `Sean, you’re such a great actor but you wouldn’t do a scene like this if they asked you; you wouldn’t dive into a pool naked.’ And he said… `Well James, if I was built like you, I would.’
And it turns out, that wasn't even the last of the prosthetic penis adventures. Apparently there was another scene a few weeks later that required both actors to wear falsies, which was when Penn figured out Franco's well-endowed ruse.*Milkcomes out in December, and is expected by some to be a big contender in the Oscar race. It's just too bad*Boogie Nights*will still hold the record for "First Oscar-nominated film to feature prosthetic penises."
